Teritorijalna autonomija i nacionalne manjine u Srbiji
Territorial Autonomy and National Minorities in Serbia

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I deal with the demands of national minorities for territorial autonomy. In the early nineties of the 20th century, the parties of national minorities elaborated in detail the demands for the establishment of territorial autonomies in their political programs, and in my paper I will try to answer whether there has been a change in the demands for the territorialization of ethnicity. At the beginning, we will analyze the theoretical explanations of territorial autonomy and its application for the purpose of protecting national minorities. On the example of Serbia, that is, the former Yugoslavia where the Soviet model of autonomy was applied, we see that the territorial principle of protection of national minorities has been present ever since. On the other hand, minority political leaders and parties have different visions of territorial autonomies, which represents a challenge in the process of integration of national minorities.
